What’s in the Box?

First things first, let’s talk about the unboxing experience. You know that Christmas morning feeling? Yeah, it’s like that but with more scales and less wrapping paper.

  • The Dino Car: The star of the show, of course, is the RC car itself, complete with a T-Rex on top. (They also offer a Triceratops model, but hey, T-Rex is the king of the dinos, right?)
  • The Remote Control: A sleek black piece of tech with red buttons that make you feel like you’re in control of a real-life monster.
  • Charging Gear: It comes with a charger and not one, but two batteries for the car. Unfortunately, you’ll need to grab a couple of AA batteries for the remote control, as those aren’t included.
  • Mist Bottle: This is where things get mist-ifying! The kit includes a small bottle for water, which you’ll use to create the mist effect from the dino’s mouth. More on that later!

The Mist-erious Feature

Okay, let’s talk about the mist. This isn’t just an RC car; it’s an RC car that breathes misty fire!

Well, not actual fire, but you get what I mean. The top of the dino’s head has a little compartment where you can pour water. Once filled, the dino spews mist from its mouth at the push of a button.

It’s like having your own mini Godzilla, minus the city-destroying tendencies.

The mist bottle’s tip is a bit too small, so I had to snip off the end to make it work. But once that’s sorted, you’re in for a mist-ical experience!

Remote Control: The Power is in Your Hands

The remote control is straightforward and user-friendly. It requires two AA batteries, which you’ll have to buy separately.

The remote has a decent range and is responsive, making it easy to control your dino-car’s movements.

  • Forward/Backward: Basic but essential. Your dino moves in the direction you want it to.
  • Left/Right Adjustments: Handy for those tight corners or if you’re making your dino dance. Yes, I tried it, and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds.

Taking it for a Spin

I took my dino buddy outside to see how it performs in the wild—or at least in my backyard. The car handles surprisingly well on grass, gravel, and concrete.

It’s not going to win any speed races, but it’s zippy enough to keep younger kids entertained.

  • Grass: Works pretty well, though it can get stuck in taller grass.
  • Gravel: No issues here, it rolls along just fine.
  • Concrete: Smooth sailing, or should I say, smooth roaring?

Who is it For?

This Bennol Dinosaur RC Car is perfect for kids around 8 or 9 and under. Older kids might want something faster, but for the younger crowd, the mist feature and dino noises are a huge hit.

It’s like having a pet dinosaur that you can actually control!

Final Roar

So, is the Bennol Dinosaur RC Car worth it? Absolutely! It’s more than just an RC car; it’s an experience.

From the mist feature to the easy-to-use remote control, this toy offers a ton of fun for younger kids and, let’s be honest, for adults who are kids at heart (like me).

So go ahead, unleash your inner paleontologist and race car driver, and get yourself one of these dino-mite toys! 🦖🚗
